Thankfully notHave you ever been addicted to smoking cigarettes?
That part is indeed disappointingAny explanation why none of the 3 parties actually campaigned on this?
Its about money (lobbying / donations / tax) - not health outcomesThat part is indeed disappointing
Your sense of humor hasn't improved.The Coalition agreement doesn't say that. Lucky we have Winston and Luxon isn't it![]()
Luxon spoke about being 'broadly supportive' of Labours better late than never, vote chasing, proposed crackdown but thought it should go further. Seymour talked about tighter restrictions on vaping. Great that it has happened.Any explanation why none of the 3 parties actually campaigned on this?
Be interesting to see the difference Mark Mitchell can bring as Minister of Police. Good to have him with his past experience in the police force. 500 new trained police over the next two years will certainly help.
That's the highlights you come up with from this agreement?Good to see the focus returning in education to the basics instead of ideology. It's going to take a long time to turn around the declining results in maths, science, reading and writing. Erica Stanford seems like a capable choice as Minister of Education
Versus repealing a just introduced smoking law. You are weird.That's the highlights you come up with from this agreement?
Rather pathetic...

Thought there may have been some mention of the amount of gang members out in patches as was mentioned of a crackdown in this area? Sounds like some infringements around the transport and an alcohol infringement but nothing around patches.
Actually the tobacco lobby has been very successful in selling us this new poison, and they're targeting kids.People have moved to and started vaping. We have successfully moved the problem from one product to another and probably ended up with more people involved than we have for a very long time. People up in arms about repealing these laws have been very silent about the scourge that vaping has become over the last period of time. The previous government finally, after pressure, like a well regarded school principle breaking down over the harm it's doing to our society and our kids, has introduced in the last few months some much needed law to help with this. This new coalition government is going to go further.
The only return is the return to privatisation. Corrupt, corrupt, corruptGood to see the focus returning in education to the basics instead of ideology.

Interesting. Have the previous government also been compromised? Because their inaction was very apparent. The coalition looks to be doing moreActually the tobacco lobby has been very successful in selling us this new poison, and they're targeting kids.
The new coalition is completely compromised by big tobacco.
More enabling of the tobacco lobby's wishes. Come on, take the blinkers off. Conscience should apply hereInteresting. Have the previous government also been compromised? Because their inaction was very apparent. The coalition looks to be doing more
The education standards have been declining for a long time, over a number of different governments. It's good to see a potential return to fundamentals. It's going to take possibly decades to try and turn this ship around.The only return is the return to privatisation. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt
The previous government was pathetic, agreed, but probably for different reasons in our respective opinionsInteresting. Have the previous government also been compromised? Because their inaction was very apparent. The coalition looks to be doing more
